The finale of AoEx

At long last, the final episode of Ao no Exorcist.
It was erm... kinda disappointing man.
The whole episode was a mess. 
Except the part where Rin and Yukio visits their mother's grave.
And the ending was like, WHAT? How could you end the series with a ghost rider?
The only thing I love was the brotherly love seen in Rin and Yukio and the multiple mameshiba ads. lol.

Geh lets review this week's episode.
First was the scene where Mephisto was talking to an unknown old dude 
(according to discussions in the Forums, that old dude apparently was Johann Georg Faust.)
I was totally lost after that scene.
Then it was the awesome opening song.

After that you can see Yukio fighting perfectly fine even though he was like possessed by Satan maybe 5 minutes ago. Whoa.
And then there were some cliches and blablabla 
oh yeah, and that idiot 'baldy' Angel dude finally came to his senses.
The whole academy was almost destroyed by the Gehenna gate (opened by the evil Ernst Egin who wanted to burn his daughter alive) and he was still protecting the pope Ernst. Facepalm.
And then there were some fights and blablabla the Gehenna gate suddenly became a UFO.
And it was flying around shooting laser beams (that was unexpected for a series that is about exorcism :O) 

And then in the midst of chaos, the OMYGOSH forever adorable Kuro-chan comes to the rescue :D
Then here comes the Deus ex Machina bomb : 
Bon and gang opens the door connecting the Japan HQ to the Vatican HQ, aims the sunlight from the Vatican HQ to the Japanese HQ and destroying the little demons and stoping tose protecting the Gehenna gate. And then Yukio unleashes the Kurikara, got the blue flames (which at that time was covering Rin too), the both of them hold hands, and VOILA! The perfect Deus Ex Machina.
A phoenix made out of blue flames. (I admit, that was kinda random but it was awesome.)
Then a one hit KO strike to the Gehenna gate, problem solved.
After being KO'ed, Satan was seen to be talking to Yuri, saying that he has failed to achieve their dream which Yuri replied with an "It's alright" 
And presumably after his lost, he went back to Gehenna.
Honestly, what was Yuri thinking? Satan was trying to achieve their dreams by merging Gehenna and Assiah and killing everyone on Earth in the process. And she says it's alright. Shouldn't she be at least a little mad?  
Frankly speaking, that one hit KO strike really gives me an impression that Satan is a super useless guy. 
Even his lackeys can put up more of a fight than him. :P 

And then there was a part where Mephisto was talking about something like defeat,
Uh I was totally lost. 
According to the forums, Mephisto was talking about the contract he signed with Mr. Johann
Yeah. and that was it. 

The part that angers me the most is when Shiemi shouted at the Okumura twins.
"How can you guys be so reckless?" or something like that.
OHMYGOSH nobody shouted at her when she idiotically went to look for Satan and got strangled by Satan after talking to him for maybe less than 10 seconds and fainted,
making Rin and Shura babe's plan to backfire.    
Maybe the show would have been more enjoyable if Shiemi died. :P hahaaha
LOL and I loved that part where Bon said to Miwa that 
Rin is so stupid that even if he were killed he'd forget to die. LOL EPIC.

After that, Rin and Yukio visited their mothers grave. (this part was awesome)
Then the story jumped to one month later where the exorcist cram school was filled with students.
And then here comes the ending which spoils the whole show. 
Don't even get me started about it.

Geh although the ending was a let down because story was a bit too rushed (as in they introduced a new arc and then they finish of the arc in like maybe 3 episodes. So the story was like blablabla, a little bit of fighting, blablabla, then the show ends), the overall was not bad.
A very amusing series indeed. Wish there is going to be a season two that is more about Mephisto and Takara and maybe Bon and gang too.
But to end the show with this kind of ending, I don't have high hopes for a season two.
Well, I'm sad that this series is ending because I really need my weekly dose of Rin :P
And at least the BGMs, theOP/EDs and the art work are awesome. :D
Overall rating 9/10.

 LOL Rin-Shiba hahaha Kawaii ne :D


Have a nice day. :D
